Casetalk is part of the curriculum at several universities, high schools and in secondary education. Students learn the basics of FCO-IM using CaseTalk and often the final assignment is to make a model of an existing organization of their choice.
Recently a governmental body in the Netherlands has leaked personal data through an application which was able to export data by design. This design allowed records to be both printed or exported to file for future system integrations.
Nine months after rolling out the application, this leaky feature came to light, for personal data was being offered for sale by dubious employees. I was just wondering how many mistakes were made during the hasty development of this application.
The potential data leak was obviously build by design. The real problem seems to be that abusive use of this feature went undetected when it was actively used by a handful of corrupt employees.
Yes we all use data. The latest buzzwords nowadays either contain the word Big, Semantic and/or Data. Since companies collect more and more data, and attempt to work with more data than ever, the data seems to become more important. There is a trend to build a more and newer applications using that data, and collect even more. That new application is seen as our next data solution. We've become more data driven...
The Dutch company ProRail is responsible for all rail infrastructure in the Netherlands. They have built an impressive architecture to manage their information needs and to be able to steer IT projects. For this they have been using CaseTalk for more than a decade, and are involved in specifying requirements of the CaseTalk Portal. All of this supports their effort for data governance, and they've published a video on LinkedIn explaining how this works for them.
In the wake of current protests and shows of solidarities around the world, we found the opportunity to join the peaceful protest in Utrecht (Netherlands) to add our voice to support raising awareness of racist and biased treatments of black people and all marginalized people. Factually "all lives matter", but before we can accomplish that we need to really address that currently some lives seem to matter less, for that phenomena we all need to make room to listen and understand "black lives matter". Only by fully acknowledging that black people are not less, understanding that maginalizing people is wrong, we can learn the meaning of "all lives matter".
